A Florida estate sale next month will pack more than 650 lots into a single weekend, ranging from a modernist drawing to a 17th-century devotional carving. Sarasota Estate Auction's two-day event opens on Saturday, November 14, 2026, with silver, jewelry and modern art, and continues on Sunday, November 15, with fine art and antiques. Both sessions begin at 11 a.m. EST, with online bidding available through Bidsquare.

The first day brings together over 250 works of art alongside sterling silver, estate jewelry, art glass and sculpture. Names in the lineup include Pablo Picasso, Victor Vasarely, Syd Solomon and the Florida Highwaymen. The opening lot is an India ink drawing by Françoise Gilot, Japanese Flowerpot, in which stems and blossoms sit against bold black shapes and patterned surfaces. Signed at lower left, it carries an estimate of $20,000 to $30,000. Other day-one highlights include Itzchak Tarkay's acrylic Two Women, estimated at $15,000 to $20,000, and an 18-karat gold Rolex Day-Date President watch at $12,000 to $16,000.

One of the most storied decorative objects on offer is a monumental Tiffany & Co. sterling silver epergne weighing about 126.69 troy ounces. Its upper bowl, three surrounding bowls and six smaller hanging bowls are joined by scrollwork, and an engraved inscription records that it was presented in 1918 to William G. Grieb by fellow directors of the Ajax Rubber Company on his retirement as president. It is estimated at $8,000 to $12,000.

Sunday shifts toward historical material, with more than 400 pieces of fine art including Frank Benson's The White Heron, Tiffany Studios bronzes, Asian antiquities and rugs, and a 19th-century Black Americana automaton. The standout is an oil self-portrait by Frederick William MacMonnies, an artist far better known for public sculpture. Sarasota Estate Auction notes that only seven self-portraits by MacMonnies are known, and this example is listed as number 62 in the catalogue raisonné, with provenance tracing through the artist's family. It carries an estimate of $12,000 to $16,000. A 54-inch carved giltwood statue of Mary from 17th-century Italy, retaining its original gilding apart from a slight repair to the left hand, is estimated at $6,000 to $9,000.
